ABSTRAK


Truk tangki kondensat merupakan kendaraan khusus yang digunakan untuk mendistribusikan kondensat, yaitu hidrokarbon cair hasil pemisahan gas alam yang bersifat mudah menguap dan mudah terbakar, dari area produksi menuju fasilitas penyimpanan atau pengolahan. Salah satu unit yang digunakan di PT Medco E&P Malaka adalah truk tangki tipe UD Quester CWE 280 Euro 5, yang beroperasi pada kondisi beban berat dan jarak tempuh jauh sehingga rentan mengalami penurunan performa pada komponen mesin, rem, suspensi, sistem tangki, dan kelistrikan apabila tidak dirawat secara berkala. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sistem perawatan dan pemeliharaan, mengidentifikasi komponen utama, memahami prosedur preventive maintenance, serta menganalisis kondisi komponen truk tangki setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi langsung, wawancara dengan mekanik dan operator, dokumentasi, serta studi literatur, yang dilaksanakan di Departemen Condensate & Sulphur Operation (CSO) PT Medco E&P Malaka selama periode penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perawatan truk tangki dilakukan dengan sistem preventive maintenance melalui pemeriksaan harian pada sistem eksterior, mekanis, loading-unloading, dan interior kendaraan. Sebagian besar komponen berada dalam kondisi baik dan layak dioperasikan, seperti sistem rem angin, kompresor, tangki, oli mesin dan filter, sistem injeksi common rail, AdBlue, dan radiator. Namun ditemukan sembilan komponen dalam kondisi tidak baik yang memerlukan perbaikan atau penggantian, yaitu ban dan ban cadangan, kabel grounding, stoper, APAR, spill kit, wheel nut, baut tangga, kotak P3K, dan wiper, yang sebagian besar berkaitan dengan aspek keselamatan operasional. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, pelaksanaan preventive maintenance secara konsisten dinilai penting untuk menjaga performa, keandalan, dan keselamatan operasional truk tangki kondensat tipe UD Quester CWE 280 Euro 5. Berdasarkan hasil inspeksi, sebagian besar komponen kendaraan berada dalam kondisi baik seperti body kendaraan, sistem rem angin, kompresor, tangki, oli mesin dan filter, sistem injeksi common rail, AdBlue, radiator, interlock angin, bounding system, hose kopling nitrogen, hose kopling kondensat, serta sebagian besar komponen interior.

ABSTRACT Condensate tanker trucks are specialized vehicles used to distribute condensate—liquid hydrocarbons separated from natural gas that are volatile and flammable—from production areas to storage or processing facilities. One of the units used at PT Medco E&P Malaka is a tanker truck of the UD Quester CWE 280 Euro 5 type, which operates under heavy-load conditions and long travel distances, making it prone to performance degradation in the engine, brake, suspension, tank system, and electrical components if not regularly maintained. This research aims to determine the maintenance and upkeep system, identify the main components, understand the preventive maintenance procedures, and analyze the condition of the tanker truck's components after inspection. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through direct observation, interviews with mechanics and operators, documentation, and literature studies, conducted at the Condensate & Sulphur Operation (CSO) Department of PT Medco E&P Malaka during the research period. The results show that tanker truck maintenance is carried out through a preventive maintenance system involving daily inspections of the exterior, mechanical, loading-unloading, and interior systems of the vehicle. Most components were found to be in good condition and fit for operation, such as the air brake system, compressor, tank, engine oil and filter, common rail injection system, AdBlue, and radiator. However, nine components were found to be in poor condition requiring repair or replacement, namely tires and spare tires, grounding cable, stopper, fire extinguisher (APAR), spill kit, wheel nut, ladder bolt, first aid kit (P3K box), and wiper—most of which relate to operational safety aspects. Based on these findings, the consistent implementation of preventive maintenance is considered important to maintain the performance, reliability, and operational safety of the UD Quester CWE 280 Euro 5 condensate tanker truck. Based on the inspection results, most vehicle components were found to be in good condition, such as the vehicle body, air brake system, compressor, tank, engine oil and filter, common rail injection system, AdBlue, radiator, air interlock, bonding system, nitrogen coupling hose, condensate coupling hose, and most interior components.
